Today's Connections answers So, what are today's Connections answers for game #669? Drumroll, please... 🟨 Shades of yellow: Canary, gold, lemon, mustard 🟩 Supply: Mine, reserve, store, well 🟦 Anti-spirit of Christmas: Bah, coal, Grinch, naughty 🟪 Spanish words: Ella, gusto, mayo, soy What caught my eye first today was the Grinch and Bah. Naughty was quick from there. It took a moment to find coal to wrap up "anti-spirit." From there I picked up the yellow quartet with canary, gold, lemon, and mustard. I saw mine, reserve, store and well next so grabbed that. And we wrapped up with the purple group of Spanish words. Ella (She), Gusto (to like), Mayo (May), and soy (I am). Yesterday's Connections answers 🟨 Round three-dimensional objects: Ball, globe, orb, sphere 🟩 Punch: Pop, pound, slug, sock 🟦 Animals in the witches' brew in "Macbeth": Bat, dog, frog, newt 🟪 Fox ____: Glove, hole, hound, trot Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #668, which had a difficulty rating of 2.8 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. With the end of March Madness, I was thinking round ball rock and snatched up ball, globe, orb and sphere right away. I was looking at hound and was reminded of The Fox and the Hound. Which led me to foxhound followed by other fox things; fox trot, foxglove and foxhole. Took it easy with the green category snagging pop, pound, slug and sock. And we wrapped it up with the witches brew of bat, dog, frog and newt from Macbeth.
